Coventry City’s development squad has received a significant boost with the addition of promising young talent Aston Ellard, who boasts previous experience playing for Brentford and Watford. The 17-year-old attacker has officially joined the Sky Blues Under-21s group after impressing at the Conquest Academy.
Ellard’s arrival is part of a larger influx of talent at Coventry City, as the club has recently secured the services of seven other young players who have signed their first professional contracts. This move underlines the club’s commitment to nurturing and developing young talent, with Ellard being a key addition to their squad.
In a statement announcing Ellard’s signing, Coventry City expressed their excitement, stating, “We are thrilled to confirm the arrival of Aston Ellard from the Conquest Academy. A versatile attacker, Ellard can slot into any of the front three positions, but is primarily known for his skill and effectiveness on the left-hand side of the pitch. His experience at the Conquest Academy, as well as his time spent at Brentford and Watford during his formative years, has shaped him into a promising prospect for our development squad.”
The addition of Ellard and the other young talents to Coventry City’s ranks underscores the club’s commitment to building a strong foundation for the future, as they look to continue their tradition of nurturing and promoting young players through their ranks.
